At this meal, Forgetful and Bai You ate very comfortably. Although the fact that it has been burned all day long in the past two months can be counted as part of the reason, its good taste is always unavoidable. Bamboo wine is hidden in the bamboo tube, although it looks elegant, but in fact it is as hot as fire, this is the first time to drink such a strong wine in the red dust.

In the process of Bai You's praise and non-stop eating, the two of them easily put all the fresh meat and tender vegetables on the table into their stomachs. Even in the moment when the diners didn't pay attention to this, Bai You licked the clay bowl with the meat buttoned up. I was so amused that I almost spit out a mouthful of wine, and when I swallowed it quickly, my throat burned and smoked.

Bai You only had the spare time to drink bamboo wine at this time, and he took a sip of it.

"It's so strong, it's so strong. It's a worthwhile trip. Bai You pursed his lips, the aftertaste was fragrant, "Forget your feelings, if this wine is put into Xuanhu Lake, tell me, will the wine come out like a fire?" ”

Forgetfulness's eyes lit up, and he had a plan in his heart, and replied: "This idea is good, if you have the opportunity in the future, you can give it a try." For now, just try it. ”

Bai You also understood the meaning of these words, it was nothing more than that it was too terrifying to use Xuanhu Lake to make wine at this time, and the wine gourd could hold two or three hundred catties of wine.

At this time, the diners at the next table talked casually, and the two of them listened carefully.

"The drift boat has to send another boat this afternoon? I'd love to give it a try. ”

"You? Forget it. Although the water of the Tooth River is not turbulent, and can even be said to be stable, it can be achieved only if you have at least some attainments. The last time it was loaded, many people had to stand on the shore and stare dryly. ”

"Haven't you tried it yet? Why are you burying me like this? ”

"I'm so honest when I speak, it's not like you don't know. I've been to see it no less than three times, following the drift boat on the shore and running wildly, not to mention, and not to add to the cultivation. ”

"Can it still be like this?"

"Yes, when you reach the end of the line, meditate and exercise, and your internal strength can be polished and accumulated more than ever."

"Then there is another stream of boats, the news is true?"

"I can't make a mistake, there is a senior in my family who is in charge of affairs, how can the words that come out of his mouth be wrong?"

"That'...... Shall we go and watch it together? ”

"That's what I mean when I say half a day. Although I can't participate according to my current skills, I will definitely try it in the future. I really envy those who are successful in guarding treasures. ”

"I heard that the treasure keepers, all the people who must be fought on the ship?"

"That's nature, and there's a few more rules than that."

"I want to hear about it."

"There is no limit to the number of people who defend the ring, and generally speaking, there are as many people as there are guards to fight, and it is inevitable that the brave people of the art will turn over and take down the champion with one enemy."

"Isn't that better, if he snatches it alone, won't the people who will snatch the treasure behind him have to go up one by one at most?"

"That's why it is said that 'the artist is bold', after all, the people who fight are also involved in each other. It's really a one-person success, and the back is not sloppy, and in the face of people who can shoot repeatedly, they have to fight to the end. ”

"If it's me, I'll do it near the end, won't I take advantage of it?"

"The first time you came to Mengcheng, you obviously didn't understand the rules. They had already arranged for this kind of bargain-picking behavior, and the guards had to insist on traveling ten miles, otherwise it would be a failure. ”

"I see, that is also the most dangerous when ten miles from the end? The guards and fights in front of them are barely counted as play? ”

"Exactly. was knocked out of the ring and landed in the river, but he had to save himself, and those who were not good in the water were not allowed to participate, and he lost his life for this competition. ”

"But people who practice martial arts must be eager to try, and it is not as good as such a grand exchange behind closed doors, and it is so interesting."

"Fun is fun, but you also have to pay for it."

"And some money?"

"That's right, or people are playing with it? This money is also reasonable. But if you really want to succeed in defending it, you will earn it back in one fell swoop. ”

"That's too."

Most of the words of the two after that were the people who were familiar with the flow boat told about the grand occasion in the past, and the highlights of it made Bai You itch in his heart. The two of them were already excited, and they also felt that such a grand event would not be as simple as it seemed. After looking at each other, they made up their minds to follow the two diners at the next table to meet the world later.

After that, many diners with swords and swords poured into the local people, many of whom shouted loudly, and the whole restaurant was talking about the flow of boats. It seems that this is not an uncommon thing in Mongolia.

A young man with a shawl and a fur hat rushed in, shouting loudly that the boat was about to depart. The restaurant that exploded suddenly became quiet, and people who were not familiar with the restaurant rushed to find the shopkeeper, and the familiar people signaled to the small people who were standing leisurely around them, put down the silver taels, and left in a hurry.

Forgetfulness and Bai You were not in a hurry, and after the final checkout, they followed behind everyone as if they were leaving the ground. The whole street gathered a lot of martial arts practitioners for a while, and the crowd rushed towards one place. The two of them are like a flat boat in the tide, rising and falling with the waves.

Out of the east gate of Mengcheng, go east for a mile to the bank of the Tooth River. The river bank has long been crowded with people, and the sound of gongs and drums has been transmitted to the high cliff on the opposite bank, echoing over, adding to the momentum. There are all kinds of people, and they are not all local people in Mengcheng, and there are many people who are dressed up like Forgetful Love and Bai You.

There are a few people who are particularly conspicuous among them, carrying a red basket on their backs, wearing a hat with vertical feathers on their heads, and silk horses on their armbands, and the word "money" on them. From time to time, someone put silver in the basket behind them, and then gathered around them.

The shape of the boat is so peculiar that you will never forget it after just looking at it. The hull of the ship is not like a streamline, straight like a big bed in the river, and it is not big, about eight zhang long and less than two zhang wide. There is a cabin protruding in the middle, about one and a half feet high. There are two rings in front of and behind the cabin, and the flat deck is covered with carpets, and the guards are quietly waiting in the women's wall. The three sails led to the wind, and as the sound of gongs and drums subsided, many oars stretched out from the cabin of the flowing ship, and suddenly started.

At this time, most of the people on the shore moved with the boat. Especially those who had paid their share of the money and were ready to guard and fight, they all rushed to the shore chasing the drifting boats. However, the fastest runner is still the person with the red basket on his back, and the two words "money" are very conspicuous in the swing of his hands. Behind them, several people were also dressed in the same way, apparently relaying each other.

Forgetfulness and Bai You followed far behind unhurriedly, as did many people watching, so no one thought they were strange people.

However, those who competed were not in a hurry, they were all looking at each other, and their foot strength was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, neither riding in the dust, nor far behind.

In this way, a group of people flashed to the shore and went down the boat in a straight row.

The two sides of the Tooth River are indeed like jagged teeth, the width of the river changes from time to time, Bai You whispered on the side: "They must wait for the width of the river to become narrower before they go to rob, they are all easy to calculate." ”

Forgetfulness nodded slightly. There was not much protection on this drift ship, and the women's wall was not very high, and no matter how fierce the people were, they would definitely not tolerate such unsafe activities. There must be something else that the two of them don't know.

As I forgot to think, after running for some time inexplicably, the width of the Yajiang River suddenly narrowed, and the width of the whole river was estimated to be less than eight zhang, but the river did not see turbulence. In addition, if you pay a little attention, you will see a row of eight carved stone pillars about four feet on opposite sides of the river.

In Bai You's surprised eyes, eight ropes flew out from each side of the cabin, and they were skillfully attached to the stone pillars, and as soon as the ropes were tightened, the drift boat was suddenly fixed in place.

The dozen or so men with red baskets on their backs separated half of their bodies and flew up to the cabin on the ropes to the other side, where some people had been waiting for a long time. Then the participants scrambled to jump on the rope and scramble according to their abilities.

"I see." Bai You muttered to himself.

"It can only be like this, if you really want to kill someone, you can't eat and walk around." The two of them stopped with most of the spectators.

At this time, the ring is really a dragon fight, and the person who grabs the ring is waiting for the person who fights on the top of the cabin. The owner changed hands in an instant, and from time to time someone fell into the water, and quickly swam under the rope, turned over, and went up to the top of the cabin.

Bai You's right hand couldn't help but start the comparison, this red dust martial art also has merits, and the subtlety of it can be used for reference. Forgetting to squint and observe the expressions of the people who competed, the people who fell into the water were not all remorse and resentment. The corners of a few mouths were slightly raised, flashing with different intentions, and a few of them had quietly handed out their expressions and formed an alliance. Even for those who have successfully defended, the flickering of their eyes under their calm faces is a little puzzled and surprised.

It's really not simple, I can't help but sigh in my heart, and glance at the drift boat, where there seems to be something hidden. I looked up at the sky again, and I understood.

"Brother Bai, we don't need to compete tonight."

Bai You stopped gesturing in his hand and asked in surprise, "Why?" Wasn't it always like this before, what's different now? ”

"You'll understand in the evening."

Bai You was very disdainful and forgetful, but he also knew that he had made up his mind not to say anything, and no matter how much he asked, he couldn't ask. I watched the scramble in the ring again, and just after such a moment, the champion changed again. I was so addicted that I couldn't help but want to go up and try to defend it, but Bai You knew that if it was before, he could still control his cultivation and become like a martial arts practitioner, but now he can't pretend to be like it. If you don't control the heat well, if you miss and take the life of others, and you get red dust for no reason, then you are really stupid.

Suddenly, a gong sounded in the cabin, and everyone who competed secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone stopped their movements in unison. Those who fell into the river and those who fought had to return to the shore by ropes, and only those who succeeded in defending were allowed to stay in the drift boats to rest. After the people on both sides of the river were checked by the people with red baskets, they started to untie the ropes on the stone pillars, and then the boat went down the river again. Those who remained on the raft sat cross-legged and meditated to rest.

"It seems that when you get to the next stop, you can rest well." Forget to smile and said, "Then the last ten miles of the river must be wide and narrow, and only then will we know who will have the last laugh." ”

"I don't know who thinks of this method, it's really interesting." Bai You was still gesturing in his hands.

The two of them swept down with the spectators. The people on this shore are really good at their feet, and if they don't want to miss the excitement of the ring, they have to hang the boat tightly, and only then will they have to rest.

Forgetfulness's face was calm, and the first time he came to Yuedi, it really opened his eyes. It is not only the customs that are very different from those of Chu, the hundred tribes of Baise, but also this colorful novelty.
